Reduction of capital approved by the Court
Charles Stanley Group PLC (LSE: CAY) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the reduction of capital of the Company involving the proposed cancellation of 84,988 ordinary shares of 25 pence each in the Company represented by share warrants to bearer (the "Capital Reduction") has been sanctioned by the High Court of England and Wales (the "Court"). The order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the statement of capital approved by the Court in connection therewith are being sent to the Registrar of Companies today.
Details of the Capital Reduction, which was approved by the Company's shareholders at a general meeting on 16 September 2021, were set out in the scheme circular and notice of general meeting published by the Company on 25 August 2021.
The Capital Reduction will become effective upon the registration of the order of the Court and accompanying statement of capital by the Registrar of Companies.

The Company confirms that, following the Capital Reduction, the issued share capital of the Company is 52,050,457 ordinary shares of 25 pence each ("Ordinary Shares"); there are no Ordinary Shares held in treasury. The total number of voting rights in the Company is also 52,050,457.
